Powerful Lessons From A $20 Bill
Just last week I was speaking to a group of 50 women and men. I opened by holding up a $20 and asking who would like this $20 bill. I also mentioned that there were no strings attached. You would have thought everyone would be raising their hands...

Putting Your Game Plan Together
Are you shooting in the dark or do you have a well organized and effective game plan
in place?
Lets say, you are planning the vacation of your dreams. You can pick any location
you desire. In the excitement of things you've gotten so caught up with being on this
vacation and day dreaming about how you're going to be spending it, that you forget
to make a detailed plan of it.
The departure date rolls around, you're all packed and ready to go. You arrive
safely at the airport, only to realize that you don't have a clue which airline you're
taking, what fight you are to be on, what gate the flight is departing from...and at
this point not even sure if you should go to Vienna first or Geneva. This is the
beginning of your fabulous dream vacation of a lifetime.
Of course you would never allow such a scenario for you dream vacation, yet, so many
treat their business in just that manner...Lack of planning, disorganized and
unproductive.
Putting your game plan together is a critical element to your success. Your game
plan is simply your business plan. Consider your game plan foundation of your business.
With out a foundation it cannot stand.
Your game plan is simply formulating a workable plan and then CONSISTENTLY working
that plan. This will be one of the most rewarding thing you'll ever do.
It will give you a sense of accomplishment because you will be able to clearly see
the fruits of your efforts. There is something that satisfies the human nature in
making a
commitment, sticking with it, and seeing the results.
Most people who start a business online do so by leaping in, without any real
commitment, a sense of direction or any real understanding of the implications associated
with success or failure. Many gain that understanding later, usually at a great
cost.
Most of the Web's "Newbie" is excited about the obvious potential of "Working Form
Home...Income Potential", but doesn't have a clue about how to translate that
potential into realized income. On the other hand we have, the Professional who has
mastered the critical skills that bridge the huge gap between potential and reality.
While the Professionals is busy mastering his skills and reaping great wealth, the
Newbies most of whom are barely earning enough to maintain their online expenses, are
becoming discouraged from the lack of accomplishment and consequently jump form one
bizop to another in utter frustration. Why? They are failing to work their plan
because they don't have a plan.
Currently, I spend a good deal of time in New York where there are thousands of
skyscrapers. Can you imagine if the visionaries who developed those skyscrapers did not
take the time to have developed a plan, a blue print, from which to have laid the
foundation for each of those skyscrapers...it would have resulted in utter chaos.
These same principles are true for your business. If it is to last the test of time and
achieve your goal, you will be required to lay your foundation.
So, get yourself a cup of tea, hit the reclines and get your note book ready, you're
going to have to write this down. It has been scientifically proven that when things
are written down it locks it in more than just thinking about it. The exercise of
writing things down some how has a significant effect on the neurological body
chemistry.
You game plan should be clear, simple and direct. It's focus should be on where you
are going, when you will arrive there and by what means you will get there.
Are your ready now? Great! Let's get going!
Formulate Your Plan:
Know that the game plan you commit to will set you free if you take action and if
you act with your best effort.
The your will be working backward from a long-term plan to a daily method of
operation. You'll know exactly what you want and how you are going to get it.
Construction the plan:
1). Write in your journal exactly where you'd like to be
in 5 year, and then in big bold letters write, "I
COMMIT TO DOING WHAT
IS REQUIRED OF ME TO ACCOMPLISH
MY GOALS"
1). Keep it simple
2). In constructing your plan, you are going to begin
working you backward from a long-term plan to a daily
plan, your "to-do today" list. With this you'll not
only know exactly what you want to accomplish, but
you'll know exactly how you are going to go about
getting it.
Your Five Year Plan
Your Three Year Plan
Your One Year Commitment
Your Next 90 Days
Your Weekly Method of Operation
Your Daily Method of Operation
Your One Year Commitment:
Think of this for a moment, can you imagine Jerry Yang, Co-founder, Yahoo, starting
Yahoo and saying, and saying, "I'm
going to give this 30 days"? Absolutely Not!
Yet, many take that non-committal attitude toward their goals and financial future.
If you are going to to achieve your life's goals and financial freedom marketing on
the Internet, you are going to need to commit to working your plan for at least one
year.
So, since achieving your 5 year goal is dependent upon achieving your 1 year goal,
realistically you are going to have to commit to you success for one year.
Whatever your long term goal is, example: to be a Real Estate Developer, then
realistically one-year is what it will take to get your education and expertise in that
area and your business off the ground.
Here are some of what you can expect in one year:
* You'll make money
* You'll make mistakes
* You'll develop new relationships
* You'll be doing all that it takes to fulfill you
plan.
Your Five Year Plan:
Most of us cannot wait. Five years may seem like a very long time, but if you think
about it, what were you doing the last five years? Did they seem to have just
whizzed by? Doesn't seem that long, does it?
Five years is a good time-frame for achieving one's long term goals. Some of you
will do it much faster and some will do it slower, while some will not do it at all.
You are going to accomplish this goal one step-at-a-time.
Your accomplishment of your goals, will all depend on each persons level of
commitment.
Your Daily Plan:
Here you need to list everything that should be done. Once you have everything
listed, look at each activity and ask this question:
Priority #1: I must-do activity
Ask your self the question, how critical is accomplishing this task to meeting my
one year goal?
Priority #2: I should-do activity
Ask yourself the question, is this something I should do that is of benefit to me in
achieving my one year goal?
Priority #3: I like-doing activity
Ask yourself the question, be honest here, I accomplished the things that I must and
should do, so that I am now able to do the things I like to do??
If your answer is no, them you'll need to cut your time from doing the things you
like to do in order to do the things you MUST do. You will need to do whatever it will
take to get priorities 1 and 2 accomplished.
From this you will daily develop a To Do priority list. The accomplishment of this
daily list will be the foundation of your success.
The kids are screaming, you've already worked 8 hours plus 2 hours overtime with a 1
hour commute. How do you find the time you ask?? Make It! It's called sacrifice.
Commitment. It is Prioritizing!
Somehow we always find the time to do the things that are REALLY, REALLY important
to us. If we want it great enough, we will create the time if we have to.
Now tell me, would such a sacrifice be worth it, in order to enjoy Freedom of time,
lifestyle and finances in as little 3-5 years??
Try it! You just may be surprised.
